Summary description: Extensions to the doc package
License type: lppl

Announcement text: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is DoX version 2.0 -- Extensions to the doc package

What's new in version 2.0:
================
** Optional argument to \doxitem
idxtype option to change the item's index type

** Optional argument to \Describe<Item> and the <Item>
environment
noprint option to avoid marginal printing
noindex option to avoid item indexing

** Extend \DescribeMacro, \DescribeEnv and their
corresponding environments
with the same features


Description:
=======
The doc package provides LaTeX developers with means to
describe the usage and
the definition of new commands and environments. However,
there is no simple
way to extend this functionality to other items (options or
counters for
instance). DoX is designed to circumvent this limitation,
and provides some
improvements over the existing functionality as well.
